Piezoelectric Sensors

Using Arduino with Piezo Sensors:

Advantages of using Piezoelectric sensors:
 - Extremely high rigidity
 - Hight natural frequency
 - Extremely wide measuring range
 - Very high stability
 - High reproducibility - Wide operating temperature range
 - Insensitivity to electric and magnetic fields

The videos below show the power of this type of sensor and how it can be used with max/msp, including triggering samples and 'playing' everyday items. Also shown as a contact microphone and how it can be used to record different surfaces and items.
